(a) The molecular structure of title compound 1, showing the mannitol 2R,3R,4R,5R configuration. (b) The molecular structure of molecule A, showing the crystallographic atom-numbering scheme used throughout the remainder of the discussion, with displacement ellipsoids drawn with Mercury CSD (Version 3.0; Macrae et al., 2020) at the 40% probability level and H atoms shown as small spheres of arbitrary radius. (c) Overlay of molecules A (green), B (blue) and C (red) from the unit cell of compound 1 represented in capped sticks format, showing good overlap in the O1/O2 dioxolanyl portion (head) and significant variation, especially by molecule A, in the O5/O6 dioxolanyl portion (tail). |
